FORMAT FOR ASSIGNMENTS IN MATH CLASS

What                                         Why or How

The final answer goes here.                                Work, calculations, explanations, thoughts, ideas go here.

(see examples below)

                                                                                                      - students received a pink copy of this and glued it into notebook as a reminder

                                                                                                         -  they are to draw this format for their work on assignments unless otherwise told   

                                                                                                      - they need to draw a line to seperate each problem after they are done

 EXAMPLES  (Using 7th grade Math's mate 1.1)  (THEY DO NOT USE THIS FORMAT FOR #1-4 on math's mates)

# 5)  4305                                      7605

                                                    - 3300

                                                      4305

#7)  3650                                      Student shows lattice multiplication work....OR

                                                   Student shows traditional large number multiplication work.....OR

                                                    Student explains that they used a mental math strategy by tacking a zero onto the end.

                                                  365

                                                x  10 -->  3650

#16)  No                                      Is 4 a factor of 114?  

                                                Student shows long division work.   OR

                                                Student explains steps and observations made using calculator.   OR

                                                Student explains the divisibility rule for 4's.

19)  A                                    Which temperature is the coldest?

                                              A) 16 degrees below zero                  Student would just explain how they made their decision. 

                                             B)  10 degrees below zero                  ( I prompt student by asking them how they would explain it to a friend.)

                                              C) 5 degrees below zero

#20)  12                                (Express in numerals:  twelve)   No work needed for this type of problem.
